More Than 11.7 Million Muslims Performed Umrah During Rabi Al-Thani

More than 11.7 million pilgrims performed Umrah during the last Hijri month of Rabi Al-Thani.

According to the statistical data released by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, in cooperation with the General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque, this record number reflects a growing trend supported by the enhanced services and facilities provided to worshippers.

The statistics indicate that more than 1.5 million Umrah pilgrims arrived from abroad, representing countries from around the globe. This underscores the positive impact of digital tools and integrated logistical services, which have made it easier for Umrah pilgrims to travel and perform their rituals with comfort and peace of mind.

This increase in the number of Umrah pilgrims is part of the Kingdom's ongoing efforts to enhance the Hajj, Umrah, and visit ecosystem in line with the goals of the Saudi Vision 2030. These efforts aimed to facilitate access for Muslims globally to the Two Holy Mosques and to provide a comprehensive spiritual experience that prioritizes the comfort and safety of Umrah pilgrims from the moment they plan their trip until they leave the Kingdom.

The ministry and the authority are committed to implementing joint initiatives to improve the quality of services provided within the Two Holy Mosques and throughout various stages of the pilgrims’ journey. They are also focused on developing digital and operational systems to ensure a smoother and more reassuring experience for the worshipers.
